Forever in my Heart: Book 3 in My Heart Series (22 page)

Then we say goodbye to Kade’s coach and wife, a few of his squad friends, my work friends, a couple of family friends of Mum’s.

I get to Jemma and the waterworks have already started. “Oh Roxy, you are the bestest best friend in the world, hoe bag,” she declares to me as we laugh hysterically and embrace.
Nothing like a lot of drinks and a celebration to bring out the party girls.

“Thanks for everything, Jem,” Kade tells her ushering me along.

“You hurt her and I will break your leg, surfer boy,” Jemma seriously states to him and then the laughter starts again.

“Congrats guys,” Dan tells us while trying to hold up a wobbling Jemma.

“Oh Dan, the man, you look after my bestie now, you hear,” I order him with a finger in his chest.

“You guys are next. Wedding of the century for Jemma,” I announce and my words are true, that is what I am sure she will be aiming for without a doubt.

Tia and Louise come running over from the grassy hill. God knows what they were doing. “Bye Roxy, you were the perfect bride,” they chant in unison as we embrace.

Ebony and Dave are next. If I could choose a sister for myself, it would be Ebony. She is sweet, caring, and super friendly. “Oh Eb, so good dancing with you tonight,” I declare to her and I mean it. Life gets in the way of fun, just dancing and partying with family and friends should happen more often.

“Yep, I had the best night ever. Beautiful wedding, just perfect,” she tells us and kisses my cheek and hugs me tightly. “Just a pity I couldn’t drink with you,” she announces to me cheekily.

“You didn’t drink? No wait, couldn’t drink? Oh, Ebony, are you pregnant?” I question her quietly before I know for sure.

“Yes, Roxy, we are having a baby,” she replies smiling as Dave wraps his arm protectively around her.

“Kade you are going to be an Uncle again,” I joke to him as he looks at his sister in shock.

“Oh wow guys, that is fantastic, about time. Do Mum and Dad know?” he questions being the overbearing brother that he can be sometimes.

“Yep, we told them today,” she replies.

As if he was eavesdropping Kade’s father Robert comes in and hugs me. “Thank you, Roxy, you have made my boy so happy,” he admits freely to me looking sincerely overjoyed for us.

“Ebony just told us their exciting news,” I say to Robert as he nods confirming it all.

“I know, can you believe I am going to be a Granddad?”

“Yep, getting old their pops,” Kade jokes.

“Now I am stealing my beautiful wife so that we can get out of here,” Kade tells them as we finish our goodbyes.

“See ya, Kado. Congrats to you and Roxy, that was an awesome wedding,” Pete exclaims to us, as I gaze at precious Crystal sleeping soundly in the pram.

“Beautiful wedding Roxy, you should be proud of yourself. One week how did you do it?” Emma jokes to me.

“Yeah, it was crazy, I think we ended up lucky with the celebrant,” I agree with her as I don’t know how it all worked out in the end, honestly.

Last but not least Kade’s mother Vicky is in the circle. I know that he saw that she was here but has avoided her all night.

“Oh Roxy, you are a vision of beauty,” she exclaims to me hugging me tight.

“Thank you
,
Vicky and I’m so glad you came,” I reply to her as Kade grips my hand so tight I think he may have broken a bone.

“Kade, you look so handsome. I am very happy for you and Roxy,” she states to him a little hesitantly. I feel him breathe in and out a few times.

“Thanks,” he replies to her.

First word they have spoken in twelve months, at least it is something.

“Enjoy your honeymoon,” she calls out as Kade practically drags me down to the limousine that is waiting to take us to the motel.

“Bye everyone!” I call out waving as Kade scoops me up and lifts me into the car, making me laugh hysterically.

Perfect end to the perfect day.

Wedding Night Bliss

W
e have the penthouse at the Novotel booked for tonight; our first magical night as husband and wife, then tomorrow we will open presents and leave Monday for The Maldives.

I remove my shoes and collapse exhausted on the beautiful king-size bed in the motel room, Kade lies down beside me and holds my hand lovingly.

“So, did you have a nice wedding day, Mrs. Thomas?” he queries me as I look over at him I giggle.

“I like being called Mrs. Thomas, and yes, I had the best day of my life, Kade,” I answer him in awe of my new husband. “Thank you for making me feel like the only woman in the world, and for loving me as much as you do. I feel empowered knowing you want me to be yours forever,” I confess openly to the one who is mine forever.

“Thank you for marrying me today. I am officially the happiest person on the planet. Now, let’s get you out of that dress so I can make love to my new wife,” Kade says to me sweetly.

Our Honeymoon

Roxy

––––––––

I
honestly thought our trip to Hawaii last year was romantic, but these bungalows here in the Maldives are sensational.

They, without a doubt, have the most amazing décor I have ever experienced. They are luxurious and modern, with breathtaking views of the ocean. The colour of the water is crystal clear, and you can see the fish and coral beneath the water. The oversized bathrooms have double vanities, and my favourite part is the amazing furniture. All pieces are Coco Republic in a walnut finish.

Kade, of course, loves the king-size bed; it is a high flat cut bed, three-drawer bedside table in brunette with metal knobs. The sofa is a Morgan with hardwood frame and wraps around cushions.

I am taking notes for when we move into our new house. I would love some of these pieces, and I desperately want this magnificent rug. It’s caramel in colour and a Moroccan design by Urban Road.

We have our own private terrace and sun lounges, on the deck, where I feel so relaxed I can sunbake topless. Well, I tried to until Kade swooped on me unexpectedly.

As we walk along the white sandy beach, the palm trees are blowing in the sea breeze, the waves crashing on the sand, constant slamming, the next harder than the last. Numerous shells and seaweed have been washed up on shore by the hard waves.

Kade and I sit staring out into the ocean. “Hey Rox, there is something I need to tell you. Trust me, it’s nothing bad, but it’s just something you need to know,” Kade tells me and smiles, so I know it’s nothing like the Stacey bombshell.

He then proceeds to tell me about fucking Dylan and how he turned up the morning of our wedding, knocking Kade out with a piece of timber is just insane. Jesus Christ, that guy just doesn’t stop.

“Thank God for Pete and the police. Wow and to think you could have had a concussion and missed our wedding, baby,” I exclaim to him concerned I rub my hand over his head, and I can feel the large bump.

“I didn’t want to tell you on our wedding night and spoil it, so I thought now was a good time. He is locked away and will be for much longer now. They will have him in a high-security prison now, so he will probably get beaten on and live the prison life he deserves,” Kade adds making me feel better about the shit that happened.

I snuggle lovingly into Kade, so happy that he is safe. Fate really did intervene to get him to that altar. “Crazy stalkers don’t stand a chance against us, baby,” I tell him and we both laugh loudly.

We have dinner booked in the restaurant and tomorrow Kade will be checking out the surf while I get a massage. I think I need to get a massage more regularly; it’s such a nice feeling. After dinner we are relaxing outside on the sun lounges, it’s amazing how we can both squeeze on one of them, as neither one of us want to be apart.
Honeymoon period and all...

“I have something for you, Kade,” I announce to him as I climb up and head to our bedroom. Walking back outside I tell him, “Well you remember how you made me that cd? Well, I made one for you, baby.” I smirk and his face lights up as he smiles that big radiant grin of his.

“Oh, that is so cool, Rox. Let’s play it now. I can’t wait to see which songs you have put on there,” Kade states looking excited.

I hand him the cover with the titles written on it, as I load it into the CD player.

“Ha, ha, I love it. You do know me so well. You have all of me, forever now, so don’t touch yourself, as that is my job,” he replies sarcastically using the song titles.

“That was a good one,” I tell him still giggling at his sentence.

“Well, it must your lucky day for gifts Mr. Thomas, as I do have another surprise for you. Do you want it now or later?” I question him as he looks like a kid in a candy store.

“Oh, is that so, Mrs. Thomas? Of course, I want it now,” he replies sounding excited.
Well, what guy wouldn’t be when they know it’s a sex surprise.
“Close your eyes, baby,” I whisper to him and watch him hesitant at first, then he nods and closes his chocolate eyes.

I disappear into the bedroom and return with a few new items that I have purchased. “Keep your eyes closed,” I remind him as I slip the new black and silver blindfold over his eyes.

“A blindfold, Rox?” he questions me eagerly.

“Yes, this is part one of the surprise,” I say to him teasing.

He smiles largely.

If he thinks this is good, just wait for what else I have in store...

I grab one hand and I draw patterns on his palm tickling and giving him goose bumps, one hand then the other. Then I lift his muscly arms above his head, and using the rope I bought at the hardware shop, I tie his hands tightly together.

“Shit Rox, you gonna spank me next, baby?” Kade chuckles.
So, why not?
I turn him onto his side and give his butt a playful slap.

“You asked for it, Mr. Thomas,” I comment and can’t help but laugh. It is far from the BDSM play, just a bit extra naughty.

“Damn, woman!” he exclaims and chuckles shaking his head.

I then spend the next hour, teasing, playing and bringing him to the brink of ecstasy. He then returns the favour, frequently. Our record of the amount of times we have had sex in one day has increased to five times.
But hell it is our honeymoon, right?

“I’ve got it bad, like a school boy. I can’t get you out of my head, my body aches to entwine with yours, my fingers throb to touch your satin skin, my lips need to taste yours, Roxy,” Kade tells me as we make sweet, sensual love to each other.

T
his is our life now, married, extremely happy, and forever doesn’t seem long enough. The past is over and ancient history. All that is true now is that a sexy blonde and a hot surfer are crazy in love. Our love defines us. Our love for each other was stronger than the drama, the conflict, and crazy Dylan’s and Stacey’s of this world.

It’s me and Kade against the world. But as long as I have him in my arms and in my life, I have already won the most extraordinary prize I could ask for, our happily ever after.

Twelve Months Later

Kade

––––––––

“I
t’s a boy, Rox! We have a son! I have a son!” I declare to Roxy, and she cries with happy tears. I am over the moon, having a boy means someone to take over my family name and I can already imagine taking my little man out surfing.
Though, if we have a girl, she will be a surfer, too. I will make sure of it.

Brody Jai Thomas is his name, he weighs 8 pounds 10 ounces, a healthy size, and Roxy was a stunning pregnant woman, just a little round bump.

I never thought that I could love another person as much as I love Roxy, but boy, was I wrong.
